When I asked people what roadtrips to take when we first moved here, everyone would say Fraser Island without hesitation, so we knew this was a place we must see. It's the largest sand island in the world and happens to be a few hours from Brisbane! We rented a 4wd (a must-have on the island), and we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. We got off the ferry and immediately were driving through thick treacherous roads of thick sand - very bumpy with lots of "fun" hills to try and drive up. The entire weekend we only got stuck in the sand twice...once 5 guys had to push us out of the sand. The crazy part is that the "beach" part where water meets land is the "highway" of the island where people go about 70 mph. There were some beautiful lakes, our favorite being Lake McKenzie (said to be one of the top beaches in the world, and I agree). 
AMAZING Lake McKenzie
Starfish in the sand -
we saved him and put him back in the ocean where he belonged.

Indian Heads - AMAZING views from the cliffs into the clear ocean!
From here we saw sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, manta-rays, and whales!
